efforts that would have a direct impact on l10n/i18n of Sugar to<br>
include such efforts as developing new glibc locales (which are<br>
required to be able to implement localization in Sugar). Although I<br>
have never actually followed through with the full request and payment<br>
cycle, there was a template agreement developed for such work approved<br>
by SFC and on occasion, pre-approval from the SLOBs for a specific<br>
effort. Aymara and Quechua locales were developed and committed to<br>
glibc (prior to TripAdvisor grant), a draft Awajun glibc locale was<br>
developed and shared with Sebastian Silva for testing, although I<br>
still need to follow through with commit to glib, a glibc locale for<br>
Niue (the first nation to actually achieve one laptop per child<br>
coverage back in the day), significant changes were made to the<br>
Papiamento and Haitian locales, etc. My thinking on the matter is if<br>
it is L10n/i18n related and the performance terms can be worked out in<br>
advance with SFC and pre-approved by the SLOBs as supporting the<br>
SugarLabs mission in a manner that is clearly justifiable to the<br>
donor, then it is worth pursuing the discussion.<br>
<br>
Although I haven't been very active, and I am grateful to tch and<br>
Sebastian for stepping up to fill the gap on infrastructure support, I<br>
still maintain a desire to assist in advancing L10n / i18n efforts. I<br>
still have commit privs to the glibc project and there has been recent<br>
talk about porting some unrepresented CLDR locales over to glibc and<br>
I've been in touch with the Papiamento team about CLDR locale<br>
development (to help then localize LibreOffice).<br>
